By having access to more data, gaining actionable insights, and using that information to update tasks accordingly, our customers are able to successfully improve every aspect of growing their crops. The outcome results in better use of resources, improved efficiency, and lowered costs.

Optimize costs for labor-intensive activities

Increase the return on your orchard

Enforce your safety standards and ESG initiatives

With so much of growing stone fruits being labor-intensive, the ability to monitor and control costs is key to ensuring an optimal return:

  • Evaluate acres per hour alongside your hourly labor and machinery costs to get a realistic view of your cost per acre and total costs.
  • Track downtime costs from machines being idle such as when a mower breaks down.
  • Find improvement opportunities such as wasted time at refill stations.
  • Benchmark your team against industry standards and past performance, and hold them accountable.
  • Plan and organize all activities to direct resources where they are needed.

Get ahead of challenges with your orchard by turning data into action.

  • Control pest pressures: the Fieldin scouting application enables customized digitized scouting reports, to make it easiest to stay on top of changing conditions. The reports provide visibility on potential issues across your operation and keep everyone on the same page.
  • Track harvesting operations: this includes being able to see where your bin trailers are working with picking crews and monitor downtime.

Monitor all vehicle speeds and hold your crew accountable for following safety rules to help comply with insurance requirements.
